The former prime minister and his wife Carrie have in recent weeks viewed Brightwell Manor, in the picturesque village of Brightwellcum-Sotwell near Wallingford.
The Guardian has been told they have now made an offer which has been accepted. The house, which features its own moat, was listed for sale for “offers in excess of £4m”. It is not known how much Johnson has offered to pay for the house, which is now “sold subject to contract”.
A spokesperson for Johnson said: “We never comment on matters such as living arrangements.”
The nine-bedroom, five-bathroom house dates back to the early 1600s and is set in almost five acres of grounds. Three sides of the grounds are bounded by a moat that never runs dry as it is fed by its own natural spring.
